Episode 34: Is It Mom Brain… or Is It ADHD? with Dr. Fiona Kehoe

Episode Description:If you’ve ever wondered whether your forgetfulness, constant overwhelm, or racing thoughts are just part of motherhood—or something more—this episode is for you.Dr. Fiona Kehoe, a Connecticut-based licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, joins us to unpack the truth about ADHD in women and moms. We dive into the signs that often go unnoticed, how hormonal shifts can unmask symptoms, and what getting a neuropsychological evaluation really looks like.From understanding the three main types of ADHD to distinguishing “mom brain” from true attention issues, this conversation sheds light on what so many women experience but rarely talk about.You’ll learn how ADHD can present differently in women, why it’s often misdiagnosed, and the supportive steps—from therapy to medication to coaching—that can make daily life feel more manageable.Whether you’re navigating motherhood, midlife, or just trying to stay on top of it all, this episode will help you see your brain through a more compassionate lens.💗 Pink SpotlightEach week, we highlight a moment, product, or practice that’s bringing us joy.✨ Christina: Investing in a Reformer Pilates machine for her basement gym and streaming the Pilates by Leah app. Leah, a friend and former guest on the podcast, has her own Pilates platform—and Christina loves that she can now squeeze in workouts on her own time and see an ROI by year’s end compared to studio passes.✨ Kristina: Listening to podcasts on 1.25x or 1.5x speed. It’s a small shift that saves time and helps her get through her favorite shows faster (and yes, we even recommend listening to Pretty in Pink Again on a faster speed since we can be a little long-winded).✨ Dr. Fiona Kehoe: If you think of a small task that can be done right away—do it. Writing it down can sometimes drain more mental energy than just getting it done, and you’ll free up brain space instantly.Join the Conversation📌 Follow us on Instagram: @prettyinpinkagain @christinatarabishy @kristinabontempo📌 Share this episode with a friend🎧 Subscribe and leave a review—it helps more women find this show!Don't forget:  Leave us a written review on Apple Podcasts, DM us your address, and we’ll send you a light pink beaded bracelet with a gold pink flamingo charm—just to say thanks for being here. 💕Hey PIPAS!
